My 1 year old son wakes multiple times at night since birth as well. What we are currently doing which is helping is stretching his day nap to 1 nap only. previously he would have 2 naps of 45mins to 1 1/2 hours each. But I have since forego his morning nap and made it around midday which he would often sleep for 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. His bed time is earlier at 7:00 pm but he usually sleep through the night and only wakes at around 5 am to fall back asleep most of the time with minimal re-settling. He now generally sleeps longer at time, approximately 11 to 11 1/2 hrs. There are times when he wakes too early (ie 5 am and won't go back to sleep). I would give him 2 naps just to make up to a total of 13 hrs of the recommended time (and also because he would be too sleepy by 10:30 am anyway.)
Not sure if this helps but in my experience my son is more wakeful at night if he sleeps too late (or too much) in the afternoon.
